Oh Kim, with such a caring daughter as you obviously are, your mum won't need anything else!
The most important thing for your mum is to know you are there to support her and to offer help when it's needed. As far as material things go, horace's list is a very comprehensive one and as a past chemo patient I can't think of anything else, except that I ate an awful lot of Marmite when my taste buds were affected, as it was the only thing that I could really taste for a week or so after each cycle of chemo.
I finished my chemo exactly 3 years ago and I'm sure your mum will be reassured to hear about those of us who've been through it, come out the other side and have returned to a fairly 'normal' life. At the time it seems to go on forever but she will cope with the chemo, she will get through it, and her hair will grow back.
Very best wishes to you and your mum.
